i don't even have a phone at the moment. i text you via email. i need an unlocked phone so I can use it in and out of every country i visit, and back home as well, without having to worry about contracts or roaming or any other bullshit.

If you need an unlocked phone that badly you can always buy it on contract from ATT and spend the $7 or however much they charge on ebay now to unlock it.

not at all. i have no phone because i make no calls. i use skype for any calling and text via google voice for free. its a surprisingly good system and lets me communicate almost anywhere from my inbox. now that i'm back in the states i can make calls from google voice as well.

Having used the Samsung Note 2 for a bit, iPhone feels about 2 generations behind. There is no way I could go back at this point.

I'm coveting that Note 2 ...even though my contract on this old iPhone 4 isn't up until August....problem is....Apple got me locked into their stuff pretty good. Wasn't the App Store, it was AirPlay. I just can't live w/o AirPlay now.
